Somerville PD stopping cyclists running red lights (Sat 11:45am)

3 officers standing by the CVS stopping cyclists. Not sure if they're ticketing or not, but I suspect so.

Problem is, "low-volume" is hard to define. Having nearly been driven into traffic a couple of times when I was biking down Cedar St and some jackass comes biking up the bike lane in the wrong direction, I am *passionately* against this for basically any "through" street...

The streets in Germany that allow this typically have posted signage--if there's no sign specifically allowing counterflow travel by bicycles on a one-way street, it's prohibited. I suspect some governing body needs to do a study and make a determination on where to put up the signs.
